From 1881 to 1884 DR.. Guillemard
was cruising about in the steam yacht
Marchesa in Chinese. Japanese, and
MaIayan waters. Within these toler
ably comprehensive limits he went
everywhere and saw everything. Now,
this Is very large order, for DR..
Guillemard is an experienced natural
ist, an acute observer, and an anus
ing writer, SO that adequately to re-
view his two splendid volumes, cram
med full with facts, replete with inter-
est, and teeming with out-of.the-way
information about out-of,the-way and
unknown places, would be impossible
within the space OF two or three COL
umns. At the very outset he gives us
an opening picture OF the giant preci-
pices on the Formosan coast, whose
sheer heights OF 5000 feet or so dwaris
the cliffs to the Yosemite to nothing
ness, makes the sea wall Of Hoy, in
the Orkneys, sink into insignift

double, the 1000 feet Of perpebdicp.

Bothered Her Fortune.

A story is told in the Washington
correspondence OF the Baltimore Sun
OF a young lady, the daughter OF a
dead army officer, who, to assist in
supporting her mother and sister, ap-
piled for an appointment in the 'trear
sury department. The writer says:
John Sherman was then secretary.
The courageous littlegirl called upon
the secretary, and stated her case
She said she was willing to do almost
anything that would enable her to
provide for her mother. The secreta-
~ said he had nothing for her to do,
but ass ured her that he would cheer
fully assist her whenever an oppor-
tunity presented itself. The little girl
insisted that there was plenty ofwork
around the department which ought
to be done, and she expressed herself
willing to turn her hand to any grade
OF employment. She became so per-
sistent that the secretary was at a
loss for o pretext to get rid OF her.
She surveyed him from head to foot,
and observing that his boots were not
well shined, remarked with much ear
nestness: "Mr. Sherman, think
there is something / can do for you, il
you will permit me, and that Is to
give your boots O first class shine.
My case is more desperate than you
imagine, and l will accept O position
as departmental bootblack." The
secretary was 30 astonished that it
was several seconds before he recovered
sufficiently to direct his clerk to have
the young lady appointed to 5000
clerkship. She has since married and
is doing well. ...e. :

Attorney G eneral Hogg in his letter
says he is opposed to prohibition and
will vote against the amendment for
what / (he) believe to be the welfare
Of morality, the protection OF virtue,
the promotion of honesty and the per-
petuity of good government" 1t is
the first time in the. whole course of
our lives that we have heard that sa-
looms and drunkenness promoted
morality and protected virtue, that
dissipation encouraged honesty and
perpetuated good government; yet
Mr.. H0gg leaves the impression that
all of the good the world can have
flows directly from the saloon; that
virtue would give way tdnvice were it
not kept warmed up with whisky ;
that it requires whisky and beer to
stimulate honesty in order to keep it
alive, and nothing will cement and
bind with patriotic strength and high
toned moral government but the in
creased trade of the Northern brewer
les and distilleries, ard that all good
government must be fed and fostered
by their products.-Bonbam News.

does 1t not, Bro. Ball? You have not
put the HERALD fairly before your pub
lie. We have inserted within [ the
necessary words to properly represent
tho HERALD and show your error in
quoting us. There are both wines
and beer which when fresh are not in
toxicating, and which Of course would
not be prohibited. There is of course
a little alcohol in freshly brewed beer,
but not more, perhaps, than is to be
found in many uninjurious articles of
food and drink. 1t is the stale Texas
beer or the imported beer ,adultertei
with alcohol to preserve it in long
shipment, which causes intoxication
and which it is aimed by this amend
ment to prohibit the sale of.

ABILENE is working in conjunction

This is a strong team, and the HERALD
thinks that next to line to Dallas, the

than the Abilene country. Abilene is
the coming city of the west, or, as 1t
will be fifteen years hence, Central

Judge of these matters before you know the
facts in the case? Some have suggested that
they be sent to st. Louis, where they would
be put in asylums aud hoepttrls. This
sounds well, but could Ironton ship this
family to st. Louis, or any other town, and
rot rightly expect them to be shipped back
to Ironton. You say, send them where they
came from; but as they begged money to get
away from Poplar Bluff because they were
all sick there, and came to ronton of their
own free will. there is no town responsible.
l admit it is yexatious question. But can
not clear my conscience by saying the law Is
responsible, or "Let them starye; the sooner
the BETTER"

couragements and found much fault with, l
